Palio Vesuvio Triple Jet Lighter

The Vesuvio is Palio’s pocket triple torch, a small lighter that does a big lighter’s job. It takes its name from Mount Vesuvius, the Italian volcano.

Three jets are angled together in a triangle, so the flames meet at a single point. That makes it easy to toast the foot of a cigar evenly or touch up a side that is burning slow, without scorching the wrapper.

The oversized translucent tank shows your butane level at a glance. The flame height wheel is built into the base, and a wide trigger fires the piezo ignition. It refills with standard butane and is tested to work up to 12,000 feet.

It measures about 3.2 by 1.6 by 1.2 inches and weighs 2.4 ounces, small enough to live in a pocket. Palio backs it with a two year warranty.
